The richness of diversity
« Brightlingsea | Kirby-le-Soken »

I've been talking about getting back to the sea for months now, so what do I do? I pretty much blow it all on one walk. This is always the way with resort strips. A large town (in this case Clacton) spreads both ways along the seafront, merging with villages and hamlets, extending a long promenade as it goes.

As the crow flies, Brightlingsea and St Osyth are about two miles apart. How then did I turn two miles into a twelve mile walk? There are three reasons.
